Event 1: "That's Sick, Bro"

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)   

After a player opened for 20k, Frank Ingardia (Staten Island, NY) moved all in and got called.

Frank's pocket 8s were racing against AK.

The flop came Q T 8, extending Frank's lead with a set, but giving his opponent a gutshot.

The gutter hit on the turn when a Jack fell, making Broadway.  It looked like Frank was headed for the rail.  He needed the board to pair on the river to survive.

It paired with the case 8, giving Frank quadzilla.  He doubled to about 245k.

His opponent was still in good shape, left with about 200k, an above average stack.
